Yeap, it had problems. Apparently it was stopped about a week ago, and they decided not to tell me. The lady told me it would be 30 - 45 days before I got my money back.

Next time, I think I'll wait for a Best Buy/Walmart special and not deal with rebates.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oreoOozZz:
I was just wondering about this yesterday, checked the link someone provided in this thread just now and to my suprise, my claim is invalid. I think its my fault though, i moved a week or two after i purchased the phone. Although i changed the address with Sprint, maybe the rebates department didnt get the notification? Here is exactly what it said:

Offer:	VARIABLE REWARD AMOUNT DEPENDING ON PRODUCT PURCHASED

hi,

I make app (F1 pocket 2010 and MotoGP Pocket 2010).

At emulator 1.6, 2.0 and 2.01 apps looks full screen at wvga800 resolution, now I update windows sdk, and I see that at emulator 2.1 apps don't show at wvga800 resolution, and this is a big problem.

what can I do to solve this?

thank you everyone

update: at emulator 2.2 looks full screen, why it does't work full screen only at 2.1?

that's an easy one to answer - as you managed to navigate here, you must have seen the other fora for everything connected with the HD2, plus at the head of this forum is a truly magnificent list of tweaks and little things you can add to make your HD2 experience wonderful.

I'm afraid there is no alternative to searching and just trying things to see what suits you - my favourite tweak is Cookie's home screen mod. PL Toggle is good too. But others may disagree - just go ahead and see what takes your fancy, there's tons of stuff here.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewroids:
Might be a stupid question, but I just want to confirm it before I try it.

I've backed up several backups and they're slowly piling up on my SDcard. Is it possible to manually delete them by connecting it to my PC (via USB) and renaming the folders that I'd like to keep? Renaming them shouldn't cause a problem when restoring would it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyron:
No, it shouldnt. I've renamed several of my nandroids before, adding suffixes to the end of the names to distinguish between different rom backups and they've all restored fine before
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
just dont put spaces in the folder name, it doesnt work with spaces.

and you dont need the computer. just use astro file manager, locate your backups, and rename the ones you want and delete the rest.

Anyone in the tampa market tried 4g. I just turned my 4g radio on just for ****s and giggles and it said it detected a 4g network and was obtaining an ip address but just hangs there. I am not sure if the 4g isnt live yet or if its my custom rom or radio image thats not allowing me to connect. Anyone out there been successful in connecting?

PS. Specifically I am in the ybor city area.
[EVO 4G General] RimkaIzumo:
It's not active yet, from what I've read people from as far as Palm Harbor have been getting these signals.

They are test radios for the engineers and you won't be able to get an IP until they go live. Hopefully the fact that we can see them means this is sometime soon.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] badasschris:
hi my phone has been good but for the whole of today i havent been able to receive any text messages. i can send them fine and email seems to be working fine as well. When I got home I put my sim into my old phone and after a little while i received the 8 messages.

What could be up? do i need to send the phone back?

when i put the sim back in my phone is was working again.

When it wasnt working I had already tried turing phone on and off.

Also unrelated but I have had some weird problems with my phone not working with bluetooth properly. It will pair easily and work fine but then (again today) my paired devices were not connecting and I had to delete the pairing and add them again for it to work.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] senna_drummer:
i have had the same problem with not receiving texts on my galaxy s. though mine was just from one number. after the usual helpful advice of switching off and on removing sim card etc it still wasnt working. putting the sim in a new phone worked and the only way to get the samsung working again was to reset everything to factory. This lasted about a week and then it's happened again this morning.

Ive checked my blocked contacts and its empty and vodafone/samsung aren't being especially helpful.

It would appear a factory reset is the only thing that sort of works.

hope this helps
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Merken_:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] NolFito:
A friend of mine had this problem, or something like it (she didn't really describe it in detail). In any case, she was told (by Optus) to connect the sim card to another phone (turn it on), and then put it back on the SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] catzi:
I've just had this problem with the Galaxy S (stock Eclair) on Three(UK). Stopped getting text messages yesterday but could still send messages, emails, browse the web etc.

Bit the bullet this morning and factory reset. Two minutes later I received about twenty text messages.

Seems like this may be a problem with the Galaxy S. If it happens again the phone is going back for something else.

Maybe Froyo will sort it out once Three have worked out how to get it distributed.

I am guessing your old phone isn't a Samsung ? I was having the same problem and I figured it out. Samsung phones don't receive texts when a full number is put in. +1-555-555-5555. This is the number format Facebook uses. So if the person texts you using your Facebook linked number you'll never get it. Bravo Samsung! Bravo.

[Vibrant General] nricci:
I'm having problems with the GPS.

I have two G1s and got two Vibrants to replace them.

The G1s CPS lock easily and give you 12 feet precision very fast.

The two Vibrants take forever to lock and stay at 35 feet precision, sometimes going down to 30 feet.

G1s are miles ahead in the GPS department.

I'm dissapointed.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ I'm not seeing those results and my Vibrant locks in quicker.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
If you're going to compare it to another phone, then clear all of the google map cache before you start comparing.

My G1 and Vibrant took about 1 minute to fully lock on into my location and both were accurate. Sometimes the G1 is slower though.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Yeah maybr Cellular Data enables A-GPS instead of regular GPS. Not sure but now I get a lock in my house! Phones always suck without AGPS. 10 minutes to acquire a signal without it.

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Have you enabled cellular networks for location services?
[Vibrant General] nricci:
This shouldn't be necessary. I know aGPS helps, but pure GPS should work anyway, albeit taking more time to lock.

I bought two Vibrants and left hem out in the backyard for 1 hour, over a table, and they could not lock on the satellites. One hour!

The GPS ship in these unites are either second class or there is a bad batch.

The old G1 locked in 15 seconds.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
sadly, i did not. I'm very very new to android and didnt know something like that wouldnt be on. That certainly did the trick, thanks!

P.S. anybody put in the gps test code and play around with skyhook? i just turned it on. In addition anybody know what changes the accuracy value does (default is 50)?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
15 seconds without aGPS is better than a standalone GPS system. You must've had aGPS on..

@jblade1000 Yeah I didn't even think to check it. I think it was left off unintentionally by T-Mobile or Samsung. It works for me. We might not even have standalone GPS. It's not out of the question.
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
My GPS won't lock for the life of me. Thought it might be due to being inside, but I went out in the middle of a field and got no lock.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Worked perfectly after I did this.

Just to clarify for everyone:

Settings -> Location and security -> check use wireless networks and check use GPS satellites..
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Do you know how to get "my location," more precise? Mine shows "accurate to 900 meters"

Anyone?
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
Done. No help to gps lock
[Vibrant General] unxconformed:
hmm, that's odd. When I enabled that setting, I get gps locks almost immediately when I open maps.

I don't know if this still applies to GPS units, especially in phones, but I remember way back when, there was "cold starts" and "hot starts" for gps. Basically if your unit already roughly knew where you were, it would "hot start" and get a fix super quick because it already knew what satellites to be looking for signal from. "Cold starts" were when your device didn't have a clue where you were and it could take several minutes to get a fix. I remember if you would turn off your gps unit and then travel somewhere, it would go into cold start because it was too far to estimate it's location for a hot start...

I don't know if any of that helps you, but maybe you should leave the vibrant on for a while in unobstructed sky to get a really solid fix and then try again. Then again, with agps, this probably doesn't apply anymore.

Re: GPS Performance!?

07-16-2010 11:28 AM

I've had trouble getting my GPS to work properly as well. I've tried rebooting.. tinkering with numerous settings, etc. After some research across the net I've found quite a few different approaches and ideas. Using a mix of all of them, I've come up with a solution that works perfect for my Vibrant. **Not responsible if your GPS still doesn't work properly** Go to settings->Location and Security-> Enable "Use GPS Satellites" and disable "Use wireless networks". Go to Dialer and dial *#*#1472365#*#* - This is where you may cause harm if you're not careful. Only adjust the settings listed. Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to MS Based Go back Under "SUPL/CP Settings" edit the "Server" test, and remove the "http://" leaving just www.spirent-lcs.com That's it! Just so you know.. What is MS-Based mode of operation? In MS-Based mode, the network provides the satellite information to the device, based on a rough estimate of where the device is located, and the device acquires the GPS signals from the satellites and calculates its location. After the initial fix, the device operates like an autonomous GPS receiver, until the satellite information must be refreshed, at which time the device goes back to the network to update the satellite information. MS-Based mode is appropriate for applications that require the device location to be updated rapidly, such as a navigation application. Can the GPS work in autonomous mode? No, the GPS receiver requires the assistance of the network elements to acquire its initial location fix. Hope this helps! It has mine working like a charm

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haven't tried it yet, but figured i'd share info

*update* i tried the above settings and the gps locked on quicker but not ideal. I then went back to tmo forums where e-wrecked suggested:

"use supl.google.com and port 7276 as opposed to the default. you can always revert if it doesnt help. Remember to reboot after making any changes."

did that and i now get instant lock inside my apt and outside, however only outside is accuruate within 10m, inside is about two to three blocks off. Im happy for now but will try to use it as my main navigation device to put it through its paces (i have garmin streetpilot c550 for comparison).
[Vibrant General] kiddiosky:
I have done this, but still no luck. My Google Map still thinks I'm at a place about 20miles awhile from where I live.. Can it be my phone? Should I take it back to Tmobile and get another one? Earlier this morning, GPS thought I was in another state..

EDIT:

I just did what jblade1000 posted, and it WORKED!!! Test it while driving around my blocks and down the street. It was right on the spot.
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
So is 10m the most accurate its gonna get?
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
I'm sure 10m is close enough for navigation needs

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant with Swype!
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
I don't have any problems when I'm outside, either with aGPS or regular GPS. Although I do have problems indoors, but that's to be expected when I work at a restaurant. When I'm at home though, it takes a little longer, but I just have to use wifi if I need location indoors.

I didn't change any settings.
[Vibrant General] nricci:
Good to hear.

Could you please do a test for me?

Please run the application GPS Test from Chartcross Limited (you can find in the market) and tell me

- How many satellites the phone can see.

- How many satellites the phone is using

- And the accuracy?

Thank you.
[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
just a quick update, I did some short trips running errands ( I live right outside chi-town) and it worked just as well as my street pilot ( i actually had both going at the same time). it re-routed enroute just fine and it was nice speaking my destination as opposed to manually typing in an address or point of interest. Also of note, I downloaded Googlemaps address book. That combined with this is about as free as navigation gets lol (especially with always up to date maps free as well)
[Vibrant General] ua412:
I'm guessing this is bad. I haven't done what the above poster said to do yet but it says in view 11 and only 1 in use. accuracy starts high and then it moves down.
[Vibrant General] ua412:
Also I guess the little blue arrow isn't suppose to be jumping all over the place?
[Vibrant General] gordon.mott:
9 in view, 1 in use.
[Vibrant General] nricci:
Yes, it's bad.

I'm sorry to spoil the party, but your phone has a bad GPS system, just like the 5 I tested in the past 2 days.

It doesn't matter how many satellites the phone can "see", if it doesn't lock on them and "use" them for positioning.

If you use and rely on applications like Google Maps, My Tracks or GPS Tracker, the phone is pretty much useless. If you want a multimedia phone and GPS is not important, then the Vibrant is great.

No one can tell, now, if this is a hardware issue (like I believe it is) or a driver (software) issue, as so many others believe. We will have to wait and see.

If this is hardware related, there is NO solution. If this is driver related, it's possible for Samsung to get things right.

I decided to return my phones and wait for a solution.

Good luck there.

PS: run GPS Test on a G1 and see the difference!
[Vibrant General] nricci:
The arrow jumping all over the place is another indication that the GPS sub-system in the phone is faulty.

Accuracy is bad, the phone does not know where you are, and for that reason the blue arrow jumps all over the place.
[Vibrant General] nricci:
We have to remember that the GPS "technology" requires triangulation. The phone can be located because it connects to SEVERAL satellites and, via triangulation, can determine it's own position.

A GPS system that connects to just 1 or 2 satellites IS NOT, in the strict term, a TRUE gps system. For location purposes, it's useless.

Please check

http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/travel/gps.htm
[Vibrant General] gordon.mott:
Keep in mind.. I'm also indoors, which I should have stated. I'm tempted to go outside and repeat the test.

Also, for the record... navigation's been working fine for me.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
nricci - curious what makes you suspect it's hardware issue, and not firmware/driver issue

iirc, there was an earlier thread on this subject, ie the GPS problem, and one of the posters was going to check who the GPS chipset mfgr was, then popped back in saying it was his company's, and cause of that he had to bail off these boards

i can understand his position, neither samsung nor his employer would want him voicing any opinions on the issue, but he could have been a helluva source of info on this subject
[Vibrant General] nricci:
I (we) did 6 hours of testing, mostly outdoors in this scorching Florida summer. It doesn't matter. Results won't change.

(I'm very disappointed, I need to add. I WANTED this phone.)

Navigation can work sometimes because it has filters to LOCK YOU to a street, even if the GPS fluctuates while you DRIVE. All GPS devices use this technology, even the stand alone units by Garmin and similar. But please remember. This will work only on an open area and while driving. If you try this in New York City, for example, or use Google Maps on "walk" mode, it won't work. Please test: with a Samsung Vibrant you will never be able to ask Google Maps to "walk you" 5 blocks to a restaurant.

Applications like Google Sky, or My Tracks, don't use filters. They rely on pure GPS positioning. And these applications are not working well on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
Man, this is really bugging me (along with the completely useless compass).

Does anyone here have a Nexus One? Are the results any better? I'm so close to just clicking "Order Your Phone" and returning the Vibrant to T-Mo.

I love this phone (a lot), but I don't want to be stuck with something that Samsung may not fix. Especially not for $500+ tax.
[Vibrant General] bellrb19:
Driving on I-5 on a clear night it took about two minutes to get a gps lock. I have noticed sporadic results with gps, sometimes I get a lock inside while other times it takes minutes in a clear area.

The compass in sky map is terrible, it's like a parkinsons patient is holding my phone. My g1 was smooth and accurate, this does not match up when pointing at the moon. I heard this phone had six accelerometers, but something seems broken, hardware or software.
